After communication with Winget in the U.K it has been established (From the engine number) that this is a Winget 2ST Serial No.973 Manufactured on 24/05/1975 and was shipped to New Zealand for Winstone Aggregates!

I have to say that Steve Hodge (Joint M.D) from Winget was so helpful with retrieving this information from the company records!!

I did not realise Winget still existed. Looks better than most nearly 40 somethings on this side.

Winget are part of the Seddon construction group, They have a website where you can find most of the old manuals online under the Parts and service section!

I think sub section 12 is the most helpful, as I am sure other brand of dumpers will have used the same parts ( Transmission, axles, control valves, gearbox etc)? There are also some Lister Petter workshop manuals and Villiers Parts and operators manuals available under the relevant sub sections.........what I am trying to say is don't be put off because it is from the Winget site, Loads of useful info!!!!!!
